Comment:
Golgotha Communications Ltd is a collective from Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, USA whose 14-track issue continues the artist's
peripheral and uncompromising tendencies within the post-industrial
scene. And the imprint is very proper fro that – Arnaud Barbe aka
Pollux led Sirona-Records. More profoundly, it is filled in with
repeated sounds, with a minimized approach to make the listener to be
subjugated to certain sounds and certain sonic combinations. Indeed,
the listener can discern shifts between harsh yet easy-going shapes
and remarkably more strained noise drenched sounds and rough sonic
effects as if coming out from a very tiny slot. Mind-provoking and
challenging. By following and analysing the title it can be
interpreted in different ways – it is indeed a sort of music which
does not exist anymore after it is performed (the sort of acousmatic
music). If the repeat button is switched off it will not be heard
through earphones and speakers. And if it will be repeated again the
listener`s perception will perceive it differently because of being
alien and involving way too many elements to be remembered in the
same way. Secondly, it can be interpreted as a sort of anti-music in
terms of pop music. It is way too radical for the bourgeois` scene.
It may even involve some “comfort” sounds but they are subjugated
to algorithms having nothing in common with the pop scene. It is
protestant and it is painful. And it is very impressive.
